I was looking for speakers to mount to my ski tow bar on the rear of my deck boat. I had considered building my own out of PVC pipe using plans from the internet. After pricing all the parts to build them I decided that the MCM 8"Marine Speakers would probably fit my needs at a lower cost plus I would not have to build them. I was not disappointed. The speakers look good and the sound is reasonable. The titanium tweeters provide crisp bright high frequency sounds. The mid range is smooth and well defined. If you are looking for sub-woofer type thumping bass these speakers are not for you. I am powering them with a Boss 4 x 25W marine stereo. I found with the stereo deck's loudness and EQ I could get a mix of pleasing bass, mid-range and highs for most genres of music.

FYI- I am picky about my sound and consider myself an audiophile, but did not want to break the bank for the boat sound system. These speakers really sound pretty good, especially while enjoying a few beverages while floating in the lake!

If there is a negative about the speakers it is the design of the mount that is supposed to hold the nut. The nut is supposed to be held by the body of the mount when tightening. The supplied nuts are too small to be held by the body of the mount and spin while tightening.

I prchased a pair of these from MCM to use as roll cage speakers in my '93 Jeep Wrangler YJ. I hooked them up via an old school Rockford Fosgate 150x2 RMS amplifier, and I have to say, once I got everything dialed in, I'm pretty impressed. They will get very loud. Frequency response is good, with nice crisp highs and mids. They are punchy, but I did expect more bass from 8" drivers. While there are certainly more high end pod speakers on the market, these MCM Custom Audio pods are absolutely and undeniably the BEST
